8. Bowling

Difficulty Level: 3/10

Bowling is a ton of fun and presents many an opportunity for physical contact ("Here, let me help you with that heavy thing!"), making for a fairly simple first date with a high potential for payoff. The only complications may come from coordinating the many working parts of the evening – but with a little advance research and preparation, your night should go off without a hitch. The plan is simple: find an alley, reserve a lane, rent some shoes, purchase snacks and drinks, and sit back and enjoy watching your date hurl large balls down a greased alley.
